School’s out for summer, but we need to stay sharp. Here’s a multiple choice question to ponder while you’re putting on the sunscreen.

Question: Which of these events will never happen again in our lifetime:

A: Venus will pass in front of the sun, causing millions to stare into the sky without shades.

B: Maria Sharapova going an entire tennis match without grunting.

C: A college, any college, decreasing tuition.

D: None of the above.

The answer, of course, is D, none of the above.

Meghan Vogel’s act of selflessness in last week’s state track meet will go down as one of the sports highlights of the year. I’m not a big fan of the whole ESPYs concept, but the awards show does allow for deserving athletes, such as the West Liberty-Salem star, to be recognized on a national stage.

Vogel made worldwide headlines when she helped a falling competitor across the finish line in the grueling 3,200-meter run. This came after she won the 1,600 meters.

The classy way in which Vogel has handled the attention speaks volumes about her character. Most people were touched by her actions. The 0.5 percent who weren’t? Well, that says something about their character, too.

Ohio State football players Jake Stoneburner and Jack Mewort were suspended for allegedly relieving themselves in public last week near Muirfield Village Golf Club. There are a lot of places where you can relieve yourself in public, but that isn’t one of them.

No worries, Buckeye fans. If this is as rowdy as his players get in the off-season, Urban Meyer probably will be in line for a $500,000 bonus for exceptional team public relations.

Miami University athletic director Brad Bates tried to put a happy face on Xavier pulling the plug on its men’s basketball series with the RedHawks. Bates muttered something about expansion in the Atlantic 10 leading the Musketeers to pass on a fun-filled December bus ride to Oxford.

True, the A-10 is expanding, but league members will still play 16 conference games, just like they always do.

Airplane travel just got more ridiculous. Five Transportation Security Administration workers in Fort Myers, Fla., were fired because they were lax on their “additional random screenings.” Was anyone in danger? No, said the TSA. Everyone who passed through the airport was perfectly safe because everyone was screened.

OK, so if everyone was safe, why do grandmas and little kids need to be patted down on their way to Disney World?
